    Step 1: Prepare your materials and thread your needle with a 10-12 inch starting length of beading thread, securing a stop bead at the end.
    Step 2: Begin with a base of RounDuo beads, adding seed beads in a pattern of two 15/0s, one 11/0, and two more 15/0s before each RounDuo bead.
    Step 3: Form the first triangle by connecting three RounDuo beads, using 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads to create the triangular shape.
    Step 4: Transition to RounDuo Minis, repeating the pattern to form smaller triangles within the larger triangular framework.
    Step 5: Continue adding alternating layers of RounDuo and RounDuo Minis, following the established pattern to extend the bracelet.
    Step 6: Finish the bracelet with a loop of 15/0 seed beads for the closure, attaching a table cut button on the opposite end for the clasp.
